This is a personal memoir providing original information on Greene, his sources of inspiration and his interest in Ireland, North and South.
These reminiscences of a friendship between Graham Greene and the author over two decades offer several original and significant additions to the knowledge of Greene's beliefs, experiences and involvements throughout his long and turbulent life. It is a brilliant illustration of the multiple connections of Graham Greene with Ireland, many of which would not be known to historians, literary critics or the general public. The relationship of Greene with Irish soldiers, writers and politicians as different as Ernie O'Malley, Seán O'Faoláin, Conor Cruise O'Brien and Gerry Fitt throw light on his deep interest in Irish history, literature and politics.
Pierre Joannon, Doctor of Law, historian, and one of the foremost specialists in France about Ireland, is author of many books including Histoire de l’Irlande et des Irlandais (2006 and 2009), and of the only French biographies of Michael Collins and John Hume.
